@panaceaphantastica submitted: They were pretty chill so I managed to capture their little face!! But I think I might have disturbed them because they started doing the shakey shake (as shown in video). They have since settled back to their regular still completely non-suspicious just-a-leaf-on-the-wall-nothing-to-see-here self. From the intersection between Itatiaia National Park and Serra do Papagaio National Park. Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Looks like a window-winged moth in the genus Belonoptera! The fluttering could just be warming up their flight muscles before taking off, possibly to flee the big predator taking photos of them lol. OR maybe they were dancing for fun and pleasure. We just can't know. Anyhoo this friend is a BEAUTY. Lovelovelove their colors and patterns. And cute yellow eyeballs. And the fancy wing shape! 10/10 bug design.
